In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

Buchty--my family is Czech and my grandmother and her sisters would make kolaches and buchty. If there were not enough calories in buchty, they would dip them in melter butter and then in sugar before they were served. But before we were allowed to have one, we had to say the name in Czech, which, by the way, does not completely sound likes it looks! Yum! I love kolaches, but do not make them or eat them because I do not do alot of carbs.
Driving through the back country in Nebraska, you might stop at a gas station and find kolaches for sale. I have, more than once.
And Mar, so rich. Czech food is very rich. My g grandfather was a blacksmith. He had a saying, that the tailor (a person who sits to work and doesn't do heavy physical labor) cannot eat potato dumplings, another very well known Czech food. (They are eaten at every meal in The Czech Republic.) They are very dense. Some Czech's in my family call them "sinkers" because they are so heavy, but the Czech word for dumpling is knedliky. In spite of how dense they are, most people who have eaten them recall having contests at the dinner table to see who can eat the most! One can have around 350 calories. I have seen someone eat 6 at a meal, but someone told me he ate 9 1/2.
OK so what did you have there??????Inquiring minds must know!

What a cute little bakery. I can just smell all that good stuff. Don't see to many of these anymore.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. I wish I could taste it all. I think knedliky is a very cute word :-)
ReplyDeleteI found myself today wanting another kolache, sigh...
I haven't had good kolaches since my grandma died 30 years ago.....I wonder if they ship them?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, I didn't think to ask.
